Logo and Trademark Usage

Why have a licensing program?

A trademark licensing program gives the University control over its logos and marks,
thus, ensuring the quality and consistency of all of the University's merchandise.

What qualifies as a trademark?

Any mark, logo, symbol, nickname, letter(s), word(s) or combination of these that
can be associated with the University qualifies as a trademark.

What about using the University's name or logo on a web Site?

Every use of the University's trademarks requires permission from the University and
the Licensing Coordinator. The World Wide Web has made it easy for alumni, fans and
supporters to build web pages with the University's name and logos, and the University
appreciates this support. However, federal trademark laws require that the University
control its name and marks; therefore, the University must be very selective in granting
permission in these and all instances. For more information, contact the University's
Licensing Coordinator, Clarence Chiong at cchiong@csufresno.edu.

How does this affect Club Sports teams?

Club Sports teams who wish to use any trademarked or federally registered University
wording, logos or symbols, including their own team logo, must get prior approval from Clarence Chiong at cchiong@csufresno.edu and also submit a Royalty Waiver Form.
